// An example where the HVQ POWHEGBOX matrix element binary is
// interfaced directly with PYTHIA. For this example to run correctly
// PYTHIA must be configured with the
// --with-powheg-bin=
// option. This will build plugin libraries of the name
// libpythia8powheg.so in the library directory.
// For these plugin libraries to build correctly, special compiler flags
// must have been used when building the POWHEGBOX binaries. These are
// "-rdynamic -fPIE -fPIC -pie". The following SED command will correctly
// insert them into the relevant POWHEGBOX Makefile:
//     sed -i "s/F77= gfortran/F77= gfortran -rdynamic -fPIE -fPIC -pie/g"
//     Makefile
// For this specific example the library libpythia8powheghvq.so must
// have been built.
